Abstract

The reversibility of the phase transformation in shape-memory alloys (SMAs) directly governs the mechanical response of these materials. Infrared thermography is used in this study to measure the mechanical dissipation produced by copper-based SMAs under cyclic loading at ambient temperature. Several specimens with different chemical compositions are tested. Mechanical dissipation which is produced by the material is deduced from the temperature change using a 0D version of the heat equation. Results obtained show that the chemical composition as well as the nature of the phase involved (martensite or austenite) influence the mechanical dissipation produced by the specimens during cyclic mechanical loading.
